Even on the iPad or the Kindle, when reading a book, you’re rewarded for pressing a button – it’s almost as if it were a Pavlovian thing. There’s a little action that happens. And that there’s always a little pump of adrenaline that happens. But that pump is different when you’re lifting a page as if it was a curtain in a theater to show you another thing.

I always have been and will remain someone who loves real, 3D, substantial books. And I don’t believe that it’s a wistful, nostalgic interest like vinyl collectors. It’s not the same thing.

I would say that, in the future, the book will be reserved for things that function best as a book. So, if I need a textbook that’s going to be out of date because of new technological inventions, you’re better off having it where you can download the supplements or the update. If you’re going to read a quick mystery novel to keep you amused while you’re traveling, it’s fine.
